Internet Talent Sourcing Training
Why?
Are you making the most of all the information people put out on the web?
Internet souring gives you an edge over your competitors as you are given access to people that are not actively searching for a job but would potentially be open to a new opportunity. This makes the candidates you supply different to those of your competitors, often better quality and more likely to work exclusively with you.
Targeted sourcing can be done on a project by project basis or to build up a powerful database of an industry sector or local geography.
